Congressman Dave Weldon has pointed out that the primary metric for success across the CDC is how many vaccines the agency sells and how successfully the agency expands its vaccine program\u2014regardless of any negative effects on human health. Weldon exposed how the Immunization Safety Office, which is supposed to ensure vaccine efficacy and safety, has become subsumed in that metric. The scientists in that part of the agency should no longer be considered part of the public safety sector. Their function is to promote vaccines. As Dr. Thompson has attested, they are routinely ordered to destroy, manipulate and conceal evidence of adverse vaccine reactions in order to protect that ultimate metric.

It has come to mind frequently these past few months and I feel we are approaching it rapidly. It echoes the prophecy given by Fr. Michael where Jesus asks, <em>&#8220;Will you let Me bring you life in My body and only there?&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p>The following is a vision of coming &#8220;parallel communities&#8221; that will emerge after a crisis&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: trebuchet ms, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>I saw that, in the midst of the virtual collapse of society due to cataclysmic events, a \u201cworld leader\u201d would present an impeccable solution to the economic chaos.
